Halo Reach Thread

[BajiRav]

Does anyone know whether Bungie will be handing out codes through other means or is this restricted to the ODST Beta?

It was initially announced as only ODST and FnF beta. But apparently they provided lots of codes to the press. There has been a flood of beta codes news on HBO (halo.bungie.org).

[Sethos]

Just by a used copy of ODST?

Aren't a lot of those around here, then again, I'm not desperate enough to pay for a game I don't want to play, just to get in a Beta.

Can always hope one of those special bungie keys make my way :shiftyninja:

Just google "Halo Reach Beta" and/or go to http://search.twitter.com and search "Halo Reach," etc to find people giving away a beta code.

Boo it says a Key has been no assigned to my account but it doesn't show up :cry:

EDIT:

Woooot!!!

Downloading 1.15 Gb download.

No halo disc needed. haha

[Nightz]

Got my code to download. Can't wait to get home! :)

[Cupcakes]

Beta code, I now has it! :D :D Whoopee. I totally just ditched playing MW2 to sign out and d/l this game.. I don't even have enough space so I just deleted some COD4 and WaW maps to download this. ha.

[sambrentnall]

Where are people getting these codes from :(

Where are people getting these codes from :(

I got my card from a Microsoft rep. Told me where to go and how to get it.

It works!

[Dane]

Oooh everyone has jump packs to start out with

[Hedon]

Working on obtaining my code now :)

[Guest]

WAIT.... WOT?

People have started playing already? :s

[DR3AMxCATCHER]

Are these people that played Halo 2 getting the codes or what?

[Cupcakes]

Today was just the day that a lot of pre-release codes went out to friends and family of Bungie.. Press also received a large amount of beta codes to give out. Otherwise the beta itself starts next week and all you need is the ODST disc.

[Dane]

Yeah public starts later on. Currently online it says only like 4-5thousand people online.

Not too bad actually.

As for the one comment, if you played Halo 2 YOU WILL NOT GET THE CODE. You NEED Halo 3 to get the code.

Unless you're like myself in the one group where no copy of Halo was needed. Go into marketplace, use code, download, and done.

I see, I see. Oh well. Not worth the risk of paying money for a game I don't own anymore. Traded it in.

Ahh! That used to irk me and my buddies to no end. I can still hear that announcer's voice in my head.

I didn't realize that a lot of gaming websites would be giving away beta keys. As for me, I've got my ODST disk collecting dust, so I may as well put it to use :).

[DigitalE]

Got my beta code(s) too. :)

[Sethos]

So we can slowly turn this thread into "Oh can I please have you spare keys" :rofl: ?

Anyone has a spare key? I'd like one :shiftyninja: :laugh:

[AimLXJ]

Got my beta code(s) too. :)

:cry: I been trying to get mine off Twitter, Websites, and the Microsoft ExpertZone and no luck

I have a hunch that people got thousands of the beta keys off the Microsoft ExpertZone and began tweeting them just for followers... now thats just not fair if thats true

[DigitalE]

I already gave my only extra to a friend; sorry.

[+InsaneNutter MVC]

Lets hope some codes make it to Neowin, after revising all week for a horrible exam it would be nice to relax a bit and play :)

[Sikh]

Damn IT! I had a few chances and could of snagged a Code but I didnt because I thought the codes were for people who dont have ODST, not people that can get in on it early. BLAH!!!

But i have ODST, so ill wait till monday, this just means that anytime monday itll be available hopefully.
